That’s really all the materials to build our garage?!
Yesterday is a funny movie! What are the lyrics to “Eleanor Rigby” anyway?
I’m ecstatic to use this rain as an excuse to stay inside.
Related: I thought I was going to run more in September. Oops.
Related: I’m so grateful for JEANS weather. And fire weather!
I hope that bird gets back up.
[At my biennial “real” haircut] Wow, this person is H-A-R-S-H about what bad shape my hair is in.
[Trying to watch 30 Rock for the first time] Is the first season just not very good? Does it get funnier? Is Liz Lemon’s body always going to be a joke? Can I enjoy this if I’m not a Tracy Morgan fan?
[Finishing The Ten Thousand Doors of January and starting Sourdough] Yeah… I definitely enjoy simpler, more straight-forward writing the best.
Will I ever be able to watch Notting Hill and not think about how my at-the-time high school boyfriend saw this movie with a girlfriend of mine without telling me? And, wow, this movie is C-H-E-E-S-Y!!!!
Why do people suck at RSVPing on time, or at all?
This was probably our last lazy weekend of the year. After my parent’s anniversary party this weekend, it’s time to BUILD DAT GARAGE!
Jeans weather? Sigh. Shorts weather here, STILL.
Hairdresser? R-U-D-E.
30 Rock? Yes. But you have to get to know all the eccentricities of the characters. I loved the show and still use a couple catchphrases from it.
Also? I spelled eccentricities correctly on my first try. 🙂
Will you get your jeans weather in December? Maybe?! It’s in the 80s here today, so… blah. 😉
How long will it take me to get to know them? I am about 6 episodes in and not liking it much 🙁
Nice!!!
I also watched Yesterday, erm, yesterday! (Ha.) I REALLY liked it – a lot more than I expected to like it, actually. Totally my kind of movie. I especially loved the scene with the two people in Jack’s hotel room towards the end (I’m sure you’ll know which one I’m talking about.)
Hang in there with 30 Rock. I just finished it a couple of weeks ago (clearly we’re on the same entertainment wavelength!) and towards the end I actually kept putting off watching it because I didn’t want it to end! I couldn’t tell you how long it takes to get into it (I’m no good with knowing what happened in each season of any given show, other than something like American Idol where the cast is different each season), but to build on what Shelley said, all of the characters definitely have their own personality, and they really lean into it as the show goes on, to the point of being meta at times (not in a bad way). That’s where it gets a lot of its funniness, I think: from the meta quality of the show (since it’s a show about a comedy series at NBC, and was a comedy series on NBC). There are lots of jokes about being a TV series, and I think that’s what makes it funny. I really enjoyed it!
Are you talking about the Russian guy and the lady from Liverpool? That totally didn’t turn out how I thought it was going too and I loved that scene too. Although I think maybe you are thinking of a different scene.
I just dislike all the characters so much now I am not sure I can take it! But so many people like it, and you and Shelley both say it’s worth it, so maybe we will keep going. I’m just so bored with it, eek!
That is funny we are on the same page with what we are watching! Did you find 30 Rock streaming? I borrowed the first season from the library. I thought it was streaming but I don’t think we found it.
Boo to mean hairdressers! Do they really think being that way is going to make you want to come back???
I don’t think so! She was super judgey about everything. And I don’t like my haircut. Ha.
Ooh, I’m glad I’m not alone in my dissenting opinion about 30 Rock! I just… don’t get it. I keep wanting to go back and try it again, but I don’t know if I care to. I don’t like Alec Baldwin or Tracey Morgan sooo…
Yeah, if you don’t like two of the main actors, then MEH! We like Alec Baldwin and think his character is funny… but that’s it. Everyone else is annoying. I kind of doubt we’ll continue. I left my phone in another room to watch it yesterday during lunch and it was still meh when I was paying more attention.
